 Exporting/Importing pst files via VBA

Sue,

Thanks, that looks quite useful!  

I think ExMerge falls short in one respect, though, at least from the
short description in the MS knowledge base.

What we want to do to have the job run in a manageable amount of time
each night is to not do a full export of all mailboxes, but only an
incremental dump -- that is, do what the "export without duplicates"
option gives you in Outlook's export wizard.  The "no duplicates" option
also means less data to transfer to our remote site (we're using drive
mirroring software that only needs to send the incremental changes to a
file).  

So, we'd really like to get at that Outlook method.  I'm beginning to
think scripting it all via WinBatch might be the only way to go, but any
other suggestions will be much appreciated!

There are no export/import methods whatsoever in the Outlook object model.
Sounds like you'll need to define your own duplicate detection mechanism.
